Bretheren,
We recently received a comment from a brother fellowcraft asking that we support him and particularly his wifes endevour to raise funds for Childrens Hospital. Our new brother is looking for ways to incorporate the exemplary conduct of Masonry into his family by including his wifes endevours to help this fine organization. Please read his comments and most importantly help Childrens Hospital in any way we can.
Fraternally,
Darrell J. Noble WM, 32°
Saint Vrain Lodge #23 A.F. & A.M

I recently saw where you said “It is by our exemplary conduct as Masons in raising our families and in our business and professional relationships, that we will attract new men to our Fraternity. When we speak of the moral and ethical principles of Freemasonry only within the Lodge, they can become stale and routine recitations of ritual. But when we begin to live by these precepts and apply them in our dealings with our families, friends, and the society at large, not only will we have an effect on those around us, but also we will attract new members and Masons to our Lodges.”
That directly impacted me. I recently had to choose between getting to have an outdoor 3rd degree or personal obligations. I chose to go with what Masonry was about…
So, thank you.
I have to admit as a guy, I am uncomfortable asking for help, but I think this is worth it.
Would you help this Fellowcraft create for my wife some of the sense of support and belonging that being part of the Masonic family can offer?
While I have her complete support in being a Mason, since she does not get a chance to be directly involved in things, the impact of the Craft isn’t really felt directly. As a Social Worker for the Denver Hospice, she has recently had some exposure to Masons being good men, but this hair-brained idea of mine can set it in stone..
The last week of July is a fundraising bicycle ride through the mountains to raise money for Childrens Hospital. The bicycle ride is about 150 miles and over 10,000 feet of climbing over three days.
This year is very different. My wife, Nina, is also doing the ride. It is a huge leap of faith for her to join me doing this. She is not much of a bicycle rider.
Would you go to her site and donate or at least leave a comment of support? The website I set up for her is: http://www.couragetours.com/2010/ninamizer
My sending this note to you allows me to support her in doing something important to her, and your support of her can create an environment where she understands the time spent apart from family for Masonic activities, and education in future years.
Thanks for doing what you feel comfortable doing and please feel free to pass on this email to others. I think getting a lot of people visiting could be historical.
Thanks !
